Competition Ideas (Far future)

First off I'm going to repeat myself several times in this thread, mainly to drive a couple points across very strongly. I apologize for it, just have to cover my bases.

So here it goes. Krysyy and I got in a conversation about what we would do if we ever left the server NOT SAYING WE HAVE ANY PLANS TO WHATSOEVER. She's just about to enter the "real world" graduating from college, and she won't have the same amount of time for it (that's my wording for it, Plz don't kill me krysyy).

Anyway, so we got on the topic of what to do with the stuff, including the dragon eggs. We've got two. I gave SMP4's dragon egg to krysyy for valentines day (we're nerds, and I'm starting to be ok with that), so she makes the call on that one. I thought that I would want to have a competition with the giveway being mine (SMP 1's dragon egg).

WE AREN'T DOING THIS NOW, WE HAVE NO PLANS TO LEAVE, JUST A CONVERSATION that led to me wanting ideas.

So here's where the community question comes in. I'd like to see competiton ideas that everyone has a chance of winning. What I mean by that is, if I were to judge buildings, I spent right at 172k on circle stone with my last building at 3878. It came out great, but its not something everyone can do, and I would want the competition to be fair for everyone.

I realize you could mine most resources, but there's still a significant advantage to players who can just shell out the rupees for whatever materials they need.

So what's the competition? I love looking at designs, but I wouldn't want it to be extremely biased. What's the community ideas?

Sorry for the last blurb, I don't mean to be rude, just trying to head stuff off at the pass.

WE AREN'T LEAVING, I'M JUST LOOKING FOR IDEAS BASED ON A CONVERSATION.

AND FINALLY, ANY GIVE THE EGG TO ME POSTS OR THE LIKE ARE GOING INTO A SPREADSHEET SO IF THE TIME COMES I'LL BE SURE TO X YOU FROM THE COMPETITION.

Well, IF you ever do decide to leave. I think you should look at peoples reputation first. Someone on your home server maybe that you know you can intrust with the egg. Or maybe a list of people who "Qualify" to hold the egg and not just squander it.

Then hold a contest, judged by you, of who can build/have the best display for it. Could be a new res, or existing one. With the requirement of a little something said of the donator by the display.

Ive got another one: EMC creative contestAny form of creative content can be submitted, once the submition date has been reached then the submitions are sorted into categories. There are a few rounds of voting for each category and then a final where the winners from each category go up against each other.

This is definitely my favorite idea so far. And should allow for more range so its not just X huge structures in the competition. The only problem I see is how do you compare a redstone circuit to a wool art to a building?

I think your idea is the route we will go. I like the idea of all different types of entries, mainly because a clever redstone circuit can be more interesting than buildings, and cost next to nothing to create.
